The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

  • Artistic Attempts weekly (alternating between Painting With A Twist, That Art Place, and Peniot's Palette).
  • Bunko with the Belton Bunko Babes monthly.
  • Participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge.
  • Spades and Liverpool Rummy with the Spadetts weekly.
  • The Mighty Texas Dog Walk, Austin (fund raiser for Service Dogs, Inc--they train shelter dogs to be Service Dogs, then give them free of charge to people with disabilities.)

Shut the Global Door

I'm spending less and less time online.

I don't like the "improvements" Facebook has made. I no longer see posts from Family and Friends--only strangers that share a membership in a common group. 

The "news" is depressing, sensationalized,  geared toward advancing every agenda imaginable rather than reporting truth or even legit news items in an unbiased manner. All sides are equally repulsive to me because of their sensationalistic tactics. 

I have not done the forced update with Twitter, and I haven't decided if I will.

When a game app forces me to watch 30 second video to play the next game, I stop playing that game--when the game does it frequently enough, I unload the app. There are too many replacements available to be forced to put up with that crap. 

I've lost my phone three times this past month because I no longer care about the phone.  I don'teven try to remember its location. When the phone is MIA the only thing I miss is the alarm clock, and the thousands of phots of Bandit it contains. I bought a photo stick to download my photos, and I plan to buy a plain ole battery opperated alarm the next time I'm in a store that sells them. That will effectively take care of those two problems. 

In short, I've grown disenchanted with All Things Tech and am cocooning more and more each day.

Luckily for me, I am an introvert and I like spending time with myself. Besides, I  have more time for reading, writing, playing with Moggy and The Girls, and when I want to have contact with faraway Family and Friends, I can still call or text. At least for now...

But it's still kind of sad that FB and the 'net are effectively closing the door on the global world I used to enjoy.
